Re: Unit meeting

[boomgoesthebirdy]

Huh? What's all this about.

[ He says, meanwhile getting the fuck in there. ]

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

It's about our new unitmate and an incident that happened yesterday. I don't want any of you to be informed about what happened by the rumor mill.

Now sit.

[boomgoesthebirdy]

[ He takes a moment to feel out and confirm there's a chair where he expects it to be, then sits. ]

Is he getting into trouble already? That's impressively quick.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Yes. That's exactly what I said when John Doe called.

And yes, he got in trouble. He also got killed on his first day here.

[boomgoesthebirdy]

[ All humour drains quickly out of his face. ]

He what?!

[ He remembers being told that people can be revived, but holy shit? Holy shit! ]

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Yes. Aries from Wild City. You'll remember he came asking for an arm the other day.

[boomgoesthebirdy]

What the hell?! That guy?! He's got a funny way of doing business with people. What possibly justification could he have for murdering a guy who just showed up!?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Apparently there's bad blood with them from back at home. Check your phone - Moreau called a Live for it but watch at your own discretion. It's not pleasant.

But they whys don't fucking matter. It happened. And until we can figure out to defuse this goddamn mess, we need to make sure Moreau stays clears of both Aries and Haruto.

[boomgoesthebirdy]

Man, I don't care how much bad blood there is-- you don't murder a guy for just existing. Especially since he doesn't know what whatever the fuck they think he did even is.

[ He lets out a rough sigh. ]

I'll keep an eye out for him. So to speak.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

And then there's the other problem. We need to keep this from turning into a feud between Wild City and future is now.

John Doe from Wild City is the one who called me and let me know about Moreau - and as far I know, he took care of the revival, healing, and moving his body to a secure location.

[boomgoesthebirdy]

I mean, I figured it sounded like the work of an individual asshole rather than the whole unit. How do we keep the politics from happening? A feud sounds like it has way too much potential to be an undending hassle.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Outside of games should be easier to handle. It's during games that I'm more worried about.

[boomgoesthebirdy]

You mean those bad ones I've heard about.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Yes. Wild City isn't exactly known for pulling their punches, even if it's only two members we have to worry about.

[boomgoesthebirdy]

Two is enough if there's a grudge and even one of 'em is present. And it sure as hell doesn't sound like we can count on 'em to be reasonable about it. What do you think the chances are of being able to negotiate a preemptive truce?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

You can't trust much of what comes out of Haruto's mouth. He likes to talk in fucking circles or to get a reaction.

So if we did, it'd only be worth anything if we got a Taisho to officiate. And that's a whole other can of fucking worms.

[boomgoesthebirdy]

Why Taisho?

[ If he's heard anything in particular about them, he can't recall it at this precise moment. ]

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

They can make contracts binding. Physically binding.

[boomgoesthebirdy]

That would be a good reason to involve them. ....I'm guessing Aries wouldn't be into it, though.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Is anyone really into a binding contract?

[boomgoesthebirdy]

When you put it that way.... definitely not.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Exactly.

So let's see what we can do within our own power.

[boomgoesthebirdy]

The best thing I've got is seeing if there's someone else on Wild City with the power of keeping Aries in check and talking to that guy.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

I suppose we could open at least a conversation with Wild City and see what happens from there.

[boomgoesthebirdy]

If nothing else, it's worth a shot. I can't imagine the entire unit is interested in a neverending grudge match.
